Chapter 33
•Alex's P.O.V•
Zielo was sleeping peacefully on his bed with his book over his face, as usual. I checked the time on my alarm clock. 2AM on the dot. I quietly got out of bed and put on a jacket and a pair of sneakers. I then snuck out of my room and checked inside my friends' rooms. They were all sound asleep.
I slipped out the door to our dorm room and made my way down the hallway, making sure not to make a sound and alert the other elementals. I then made my way down the stairs to the first year's common room then headed towards the east wing, where all the offices were. It didn't take too long to get to where I needed.
Bliss's office.
I put my ear against the door, listening for any sign that anyone might be in there. After hearing nothing, I gently pulled down on the handle, expecting it to be locked. But the door opened with no difficulty.
"That's weird...Mr Bliss always has his office locked at night. So why is it unlocked...?"
I hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open. Once inside, I lit a flame in my hand, lighting up the room with an orange hue. I looked around, double checking that I was alone in the office, before going up to the desk. The two halves of the scroll and the Tome of Translation still lay there on the table, completely untouched.
"That's suspicious..." I muttered. I felt the urge to turn away and go back to bed, but I pushed that thought to the side. I couldn't turn back now.
I found a candle on the table and brought it to my flame. I put out the fire in my hand and set the candle down on the table. I then sat down in the chair behind the table, opened the tome and got to work.
I opened the scroll and snapped my fingers. A small flame spiralled in my hand and the silver quill appeared. I started writing down the second half of the scroll on the left page.

And just like last time, the runes got translated on the right. As soon as the last rune was written down, I waited for the ink to dry before turning back to the first part of the prophecy, making sure that nothing had changed. I then turned to the second half.
